According to a report in The Indian Express, the idea has been floated by the IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla in an IPL general council meeting. All the issues were discussed and we all thought to start the game a bit early,” Shukla was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. We are having an IPL governing council meeting soon to finalize all these points,” Shukla added. However, if the 8pm game is rescheduled by an hour, it will also affect the afternoon games that usually start at 4pm. The governing council of the IPL is scheduled to meet at New Delhi next Tuesday.
